A temporary keratoprosthesis is a device that is placed during combined corneal and vitreoretinal surgeries to allow for a clear surgical view of the posterior segment in eyes with concurrent corneal pathology.

Purpose: When severe retinal and corneal injury occur together, a temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) is often a last resort to allow posterior segment visualization to enable vitreoretinal surgery, followed by a penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) which can …

2024年12月1日 · When severe retinal and corneal injury occur together, a temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) is often a last resort to allow posterior segment visualization to enable vitreoretinal surgery, followed by a penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) which can restore corneal clarity in a single operation.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of combined penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and vitreoretinal surgery using temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP). Methods: A retrospective study of 107 eyes with coexisting corneal and vitreoretinal diseases that underwent combined PKP and vitreoretinal surgery using TKP.

2021年11月21日 · The combination of vitreoretinal surgery with penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) is a useful method for treating patients with vitreoretinal disorders complicated by corneal opacifications. In patients with corneal and vitreoretinal pathology often corneal and retinal pathology need to be addressed simultaneously.

2015年11月4日 · To evaluate longitudinal functional and anatomical results after combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using a wide-field Landers intraoperative temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) in patients with vitreoretinal pathology and corneal opacity due to severe ocular trauma.

Our results suggest that PPV assisted by TKP followed by PKP can be a good approach for treating patients with endophthalmitis secondary to IK while allowing further visual improvement after an optical PK. Further prospective studies need to be done to evaluate final visual rehabilitation of these p …

2005年1月28日 · Combined PKP and vitreoretinal surgery is best performed within 1 month of ocular injury for best surgical outcome. Careful selection of cases plays an important role in reducing the risks of ...

Purpose: When severe retinal and corneal injury occur together, a temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) is often a last resort to allow posterior segment visualization to enable vitreoretinal surgery, followed by a penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) which can …

2015年10月12日 · There was insufficient view through his injured cornea to perform a retinal detachment repair, so a temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) was placed to provide posterior visualization. In this case, we used a Landers TKP which is made of PMMA and provides outstanding optics for the posterior segment.
